Red Poppy | Papaver 'Brilliant'

With its evocative scarlet and black blooms, lush foliage and tall, swaying stems, few plants come close to being as striking as Papaver 'Brilliant'! An excellent choice for cottage gardens, plant your poppies en masse or alongside foxgloves, salvias and roses in dense planting blocks. Fond of a little flower arranging? You're in luck. This poppy makes a wonderful cut flower, looking particularly striking with eucalyptus and ferns. The seed heads are a top snacking choice for many birds in autumn, including sparrows, goldfinches and dunnocks. Poppies are on the Royal Horticultural Society's Plants for Pollinators list, indicating its benefits to pollinating insects like bees and butterflies.
